Having worked closely with Centred Solutions on previous projects, he already has an in-depth knowledge of the business.
“Centred Solutions is a pharmacy technology and automation company, with a tremendous amount of opportunity in front of it. There is currently nobody in the market with the same knowledge, expertise or product offering around hub and spoke. While the company is still in its infancy, it is growing rapidly, and I am looking forward to working with the team to further strengthen and grow the business to support those working in pharmacy,” explained Ashley.
“The company has already seen significant growth in terms of its UK customer base in the past 18 months with a range of key players in the pharmacy market adopting our hub and spoke solutions. This includes hospital home care and care home pharmacies as well as community pharmacies. This customer base is only set to grow once new legislation to expand hub and spoke is implemented. It’s an incredibly exciting time to be joining the team as we look to support pharmacies in creating capacity to take on more clinical roles,” he said.
“I’m looking forward to getting out and about over the coming weeks and months to meet existing our existing customers across the country. I’m also looking forward to connecting and working with other pharmacy businesses who are looking to transform their existing pharmacy dispensing processes so they can create efficiencies and spend more time on face-to-face patient care.

He comes to us with a strong background in executive sales leadership and fostering relationships which he has developed over many years working in UK pharmacy.
